Mining ETH or ZEC with these specs

[Vann]

I would recommend using cloud mining or some variant of it if you really wish to mine. Considering electricity cost, its unprofitable to mine in most places in the world.

GPU mining, including ZEC is profitable. I would recommend doing your own research and determine what's best for your own situation, rather that listening to random people.

I disagree. Go here https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=7.5&HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=110&CostPerkWh=0.1

Enter your coin of choice, hash rate, wattage and power cost. If you have average power costs it is definitely profitable. No going to make you rich by any means on a small scale but it is pretty easy to make a profit. I figure my miners will pay for themselves in less than 10 months if current conditions hold and after that I should pocket around $350 a month per 6 rig miner.

I'm being offered a mining rig with these specs, my intention is to either mine ETH or ZEC, locally energy cost is below USD 0.06, and the seller is telling I'd be able to get 185 Mh/s on ETH and 1850 Sol/s on ZEc at 1000 watts, cost is USD 4,400.

*Intel Core i3 7100
*8 GB of RAM
*6 x GPUs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
*128GB solid state drive
*Custom frame
*Energy source 1200W 80 Plus Gold

My question, will I get those hashrates, is it a worthy investment


Thanks All

Your setting costs too much! I recommend just use Intel Celeron G3930, 850W PSU is enough for 6x1060. Currently, I have 2 rigs of 1060 mine XMR, profit is so far so good.
